Journey to the Edge of the World

Today we took a day trip to Gibraltar (thought by the Phoenicians to be the edge of the world). BTW, did you know that Gibraltar is not in Spain but is part of Britain? It was a little cloudy so we couldn’t see all the way to Africa but we did climb (or ride) to the top of the rock and see the Gibraltar monkeys. The legend is, as long as the monkeys remain, so will the British.

Option #1 – Drive to the top of the Rock. We did that first but wanted to experience something a little more distinctive which brings us to. . . .
Option #2 – Take original winding path cut into the side of the Rock to the top. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to go the whole way but we did get a taste of the untamed side of Gibraltar

Tomorrow is our last day in Malaga and I am saddened to leave. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Mediterranean coast. As a special treat, Grant booked an afternoon in a Turkish bath house. I’m so excited!! We will journey through the tepidarium, caldarium and frigidarium until we reach the massage room. It will be just like living in ancient Rome.

The evening will bring the departure of our overnight train to Barcelona. I do love to sleep on trains! I will leave you with a couple more pictures (of the beach and of course, the animals that Grant always finds)
